Re: DVD+R burning problem (other media okay)
David Willmore pe v t 16. 12. 2004 v 17:48 -0500: I did some more testing on windows using the supplied burning software and it made a bad disk, so I'm starting to think it's the burner at this point. Sony is known to be picky about media. I won't be surpised if you will eventually find DVD+R media brand, which would work with your unit. If not, it's most likely hardware deficiency and you should ask for replacement. A. Thanks for the response, Andy. If I were sure it was a media incompatability, I could live with it--DVD-R is plenty good and I don't need the 16x burning. And I was hoping the second media would be a good proof (either pro or con) that media was the issue. Since they both didn't burn right, shall I try again (if so, what brand of media should I use?) or should I try to get a replacement--for which I have to find a 2k or XP box and duplicate the error. *sigh* Go for replacement, absolutely. Your unit is defective. There's just no justification for modern unit to not burn CMC Mag. +R media properly.

Thanks, everyone. I'll let you know what I find. Oh, this just keeps getting better and better. Sony support-- after a 20 minute wait--said that the drive is only supported under 2k or XP and that they won't even try to help if I'm not running either of those versions of windows. From the way the tech spoke, I fear they would be little help even if I was running one of those versions. Does anyone have any experience trying to burn DVD+R media on a Sony DRU-710A?

Re: DVD+R burning problem (other media okay)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2004-12-14 at 1230.31 -0500): Source drive is on a promise 20267 based controller PCI card [...] The burn seemed to go nicely at just under 6x on the DVD+R media (marked at 4x on the label). But the files on the media once it's mounted contain a number of errors. But, they form a pattern--or so it seems. I have a motherboard with an integrated PDC20267, so it has four IDE channels, and I was using it with a secondary disk. Channel (mobo's) 1 for one IDE disk, channel 2 for optical drives, and (pdc's) 3 for the other disk. I discovered that it read at full speed but wrote at slow speed (or the inverse, it is not the big issue). The worst was that things I put in that disk had errors, detected it while verifying a CD. Being busy with other issues, I just put both disks in channel 1 and disabled the Promise chip. The kernel was 2.4.26, when I have time I could a try with newer ones (but not soon, cos swapping capables in that machine also means touching the SCSI disks). I did a quick search (PDC20267 data error) today and got: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0410.3/2551.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/ataraid-list/2001-July/msg00021.html GSR -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

DVD+R burning problem (other media okay)
Hello, all. I've got a problem burning DVD+R media in my drive. First a little system information: 1.7G Celeron (P4) Sis 645/961 based motherboard 768M memory Sony DRU-710A drive with newest firmware BYX2 kernel/system is 2.6.9-1.6_FC2.i686 on FC2 up2date system burner is on a motherboard IDE connector as the slave to another drive. Source drive is on a promise 20267 based controller PCI card and can source the burn rate worth of data easily. All drives are using DMA. I've tried using both cdrecord-2.01.1-0.FC2.1 dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-1.FC2.1 for burning and growisofs comes the closest to working. I've tired DVD-R, DVD+R, and DVD+RW media and only DVD+R has refused to produce good burns. It very well may be a media issue as I'm very new to DVD burning and I just picked up whatever was cheapest. Here is what dvd+rw-mediainfo says about the three kinds of media: DVD-R: INQUIRY:[SONY][DVD RW DRU-710A ][BYX2] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 11h, DVD-R Sequential Media ID: CMC MAG.
